HUNTING ‘NEW’ LAND

Body
This is the time of year when many hunters are moving from one hunting lease to a new one. There are many reasons for changing hunting leases and most veteran hunters understand that unless they own the land they hunt on, there is a good chance they will one day have to leave their hunting grounds and look for another.
Luke will be hunting with some good friends this fall up in Montague County. Shown left to right were Don Gresham, Luke Clayton, Paul Moore, and Larry Weishuhn. Not pictured is Jeff Rice. Hunting new land is exciting and Luke gives some tips on the subject in his column this week. Photo by Jeff Rice
